GENEZA WÓD LECZNICZYCH W UTWORACH JURAJSKICH REJONU BUSKA-ZDROJU I SOLCA-ZDROJU

Abstract

ORIGIN OF THE THERAPEUTIC WATER IN JURASSIC FORMATIONSOF THE BUSKO-ZDRÓJ AND SOLEC-ZDRÓJ AREAThe study of the chemical and isotopic composition of the Upper Jurassic aquifer in the Busko-Zdrój and Solec-Zdrój region suggests primary nature of the brines supplied before the Pleistocene under climate conditions characterized by long and much warmer periods than today. Compared to the sulphide healing waters occurring in the Cretaceous formations, mainly of Cenomanian age, the discussed brines and salt water are characterized by a far heavier isotopic composition as well as by the values of hydrochemical indicators mostly similar to those of marine waters.
